What do you know about snakes then? Probably never even seen one.

My family has been in the US for several generations. Seen snakes, caught snakes, had a snake as a pet briefly, and have killed snakes. It's not the snake I have a problem with.
How do you keep the kilt on the snake?
The only snake I've ever seen above 8000 ft. in CO has been a Western Garter Snake. Way back, Grandma would encounter a snake behind the cabin and Grandpa would kill it with a shovel. Always a Garter Snake.
I don't kill snakes. Not here in Colorado. I've caught and moved rattlesnakes before and might relocate a rattlesnake that was near the house but have never needed to.
Snakes eat mice. I like snakes.
Listened to a really interesting podcast with a snake biologist the other day. He was saying that in most of the US, for every squirrel you see, there are 20 snakes that you don't see.
I think I've seen only a single snake at our place in the seven years we've lived here. I need way more snakes in my life.
If you like rattlesnakes, my neighbor bought a house in a new development out Titan Rd. from 85 by Chatfield that had a very large population of 'em.
When I was 10 or so & helping my dad remodel, I found a flat, petrified garter snake under the carpet in the basement. When I held it up, it was a perfect 'S' shape.
We typically just found live ones & never figured out how they'd get in. It wasn't me but it was always my job to relocate them as my dad doesn't like snakes.
Side note, my mom would flip out about spiders. Couple times a year I'd say: hold still & I'll get the spider off you... & then watch her start to dance about while swatting & screaming. So funny.
We've been in the land of snakes, scorpions, and lizards for 3 months now, and the only thing we've seen are lizards. Oh, and some big ass spiders (like baseball sized).https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8ee4bf66b2.jpg
